<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Dave.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don'tunderstand the =
situation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why do they want to close the lid of =
the piano ? To
get less or more sweet sound ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But then, why do they want to mike it
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kind of non sense to me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In my world, miking is needed when you =
want more
volume, often at the expense of quality of sound.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or, you can mike a closed lid piano to =
set it in
balance with other instuments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sure I miss something.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a church customer who has been =
mic-ing
their Yamaha C3 with several large mics on booms. Now they want =
to
have the lid closed and still mic it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone seen or used an internal =
mic system,
either under lid or under piano? They have heard of a system =
with a
small bar with several small mics.</FONT></DIV>
